摘要：

We review 3 themes from the literature on family caregiving to the elderly. What is family caregiving? What are its outcomes? and What is its relation to formal caregiving? We conclude that (a) family caregiving should be distinguished from other aid exchange, (b) caregiving perceptions may vary by gender and relationship, (c) researchers and practitioners should attend to caregiving's positive outcomes, and (d) interventions may be beneficial when family and professional caregivers are conceptualized as partners.
